StorageWorks SB600cAiO OS Restore Fail

Hi Guys, I have a SB600, sb40c partner disk array. I have wiped all the info off all of the disks to do a system recovery with the software that came with it.

I boot into the recovery software and it refuses to start and gives me this message:

"An Invalid logical drive configuration has been detected. Refer to the User Guide for instructions on configuring drives or call HP customer support."

Before everyone starts screaming RTFM, yes, I have the infamous user guide, well to be honest i have a number of guides from out of the box but nothing refers to logical drive configuration pre a system recovery from CD.

There also isn't any fancy options when configuring logical arrays anyway.

Seeing as there is only two disks in this device, in the f8 configuration utility I can have raid0 or 0+1, both of which I have tried I am out of my depth.

Can someone please fill me in how to create a valid logical drive so the recovery CD will put storage server back on my hardware.

I know it was an issue 4 years ago :) but I have just faced with a similar issue. I have googled it a lot without succes but finally I have guessed it. Backup the server, reboot, f8, delete all volumes, boot from rescue disc and we are happy.
